Wine runs IE7!

[Hans Leidekker]

Well, sort of. I found bugs in shell32, rpcrt4, comctl32 and wininet
that I had to implement, stub and override my way past before it would
render a page, but finally, here's the obligatory screenshot.

Hi Hans,

Nice work! However, it does not work properly on my setup (Ubuntu
Intrepid). Running:

$ ./wine ~/Desktop/IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe
    $ ./wine "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"

on a clean wineprefix with today's git, it installs (but seems to be
too quick!) and runs, but it complains about "Cannot find '%ws'."
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17136) and doesn't show
anything in the browser window.

I also get the same issue as
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12433. Note that this is with
no overrides, winetricks or anything else.

Did you do anything special to get IE7 working (apart from wading
through the bugs you found)?

Thanks,
- Reece

Well it sure would be nice to know what you did. I had the page one time but no
address bars, menus, etc. Right now I only the browser, without anything, just a
frame. I tried it this way:
http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/applications/how-to-install-interne...
but it didn't do any good either. According to them, it's really easy but they
don't seem to offer any support. It sure would be nice to go beyond IE 6
(although I must say that but messing around with all this, IE 6 looks a bit
better.).
